I had a concept right away but have only just worked out the story. Well, for this short...my first story would take about 90 pages. So who knows, this might end up being a future feature.

I have similar fears on page length.

It started all fine and good but the more I brainstormed, the longer it got and now I fear it could actually be a feature

I've got a pretty bizarre story in my head. Not sure if it's gonna work, but fuck it. It's kitchen sink time. I get off early tonight. Gonna head straight home and try to get the first draft finished.

I'm on the same boat, Zack. Not sure if my script will click either but I'm putting it out there anyway.

I'm so torn with my ending as I'm getting quite radically different viewpoints about it from people I've asked to read. So I'm going to write two endings and then probably flip a coin before submitting one.

Should the name of the phobia be mentioned anywhere? I'm asking because mine isn't too obvious, but it is listed in the links in the OP.

I wish I had the problem of accidentally writing a feature.

Good of you to ask!
We should be able to see that your character has a phobia. No, you don't need to name it anywhere in the script, not unless you want to.

Or, you could choose 1 of the endings, write it in, then have your character wake up and realize that ending was just a dream, and go onto your 2nd ending as the real ending.

Ok well thanks. I ask because there are levels to a phobia. I'm scared of the ocean, but I don't freak out at the sight of it. I only begin to slightly panic when I think about being stuck out there and not knowing what's underneath.

That isn't what I'm writing about, but just wanted to bring it up.

I get what you're asking now.
I have a scare of heights. It's not so mild one, only today I was on the 4th floor balcony and couldn't lean on the railings to look down. However I was able to climb The Hanging Lake in Colorado which is up on a rock and you hike some, then there's a kind of thin and steep path up to the lake. I'll also be able to look downd from high up if I need to it's just that I'll always have that feeling that I might loose it and jump. So, I deffinitely qualify it as a phobia.

If that answers your question in any way.

It might be a stretch, but my ending should clarify the phobia.

I'm writing about the rare but very real fear of beaver's teeth or a single tooth.

It will be very horrific.

Steven, I modified your post a bit as the challenge is going to be anonymous.
I think yours qualifies very well but you know how it is - it's up to the readers to decide. Good luck to you with it!)
